Summary
In this Secret Millionaires Club episode, a business trip to Beijing shows the club how trade connects countries — and how a good strategic plan matters even more when you're doing business far from home. A ~22-minute animated story that makes a financial-literacy idea easy to drop into a social studies or economics lesson — with investor Warren Buffett as the kids' mentor.
